Chapter 426 Longling!(1/2)
Hong Kong Island, Hilltop Villa.
"Dad, why have seafood sales dropped recently?"
On this day in April, Zhou Jimin came to visit the children, and Zhou Bingxu and the others came over with the report.
They have too many questions about recent business problems.
After looking through the report, Zhou Jimin quickly knew what was going on.
After entering April, seafood sales in Bald Eagle and other places have declined, and it seems that people don’t like eating seafood anymore.
For this reason, Zhou Bingxu and the others looked very anxious.
Making money is not the purpose, they just want to understand the situation and the underlying logic.
After Zhou Jimin looked around, he smiled and asked:
"Have you ever visited it in person?"
There are actually no big problems with the two reports, but in fact, judging from the reports, Zhou Jimin has already guessed the general situation.
There is no problem with Costco supermarket, and the data changes are not much different from those in February and March.
However, Tesco held a big promotion in March and did not hold any promotions after April.
Maybe this is one of the reasons, but in April, Tesco supermarket sales fell too seriously.
It has seriously exceeded expectations.
So this is very wrong.
Zhou Bingxu and the two little guys were puzzled, but they did not go to the scene to conduct on-site investigation, so how could they possibly find the answer?
"Dad, you mean, there are other weird things here?"
Zhou Bingchang, who was silent, suddenly raised a question.
"What do you think?" Zhou Jimin threw the question back.
The two children fell into deep thought again, and then said in unison, "Dad, take us to see the bald eagle. We want to see it in person."
After hearing what the two brothers said, Zhou Qingyue and others also expressed that they wanted to go there together.
"Let's go there during your weekend."
It's not the weekend now, the children still need to go to school, and they definitely can't go there now.
Although Zhou Jimin didn't say it was over now, Qing Ning Qing Huan and the others still cheered.
"Sister, we are not going shopping, but we are going to inspect and work. Why are you so happy?"
Seeing how excited his sisters were, Zhou Bingchang complained speechlessly.
"I want you to take care of it?"
Qing Huan immediately became unhappy, "Dad didn't even say anything, and you are still meddling in our affairs? Are you tired of living?"
Zhou Bingchang immediately shrank his neck and hid his body.
Everyone burst out laughing.
A few days later, on the weekend, Zhou Jimin took the children and flew directly to the Bald Eagle.
The supersonic plane is very fast, and it takes more than an hour to reach its destination.
A Tesco supermarket in the suburbs of New York happens to be at night, when the flow of people is the largest.
Zhou Bingxu, who had just gotten out of the car, frowned when he saw this scene:
"Brother, this kind of traffic shouldn't just be such poor sales, right?"
His younger brother was also frowning, but didn't say anything.
Because their father brought them here, it actually shows that there must be something wrong here.
However, sales volume cannot simply be confirmed based on foot traffic alone.
However, he has already made some guesses in his heart. He believes that his brother has also guessed something, and it should have a lot to do with management.
Qing Huan and the others were laughing and joking, but they didn't pay any attention to this, they were just enjoying themselves.
Qingyue held her father's arm and chirped.
On the other side is Qing Ning, but their mother did not grab these two positions.
Xu Mei and the others were speechless. When their daughter grew up, she started to compete with them for men.
It was the same every time they went out, with several children taking turns to grab it, leaving the four of them with no choice but to watch helplessly.
"Xiao Xu, Xiao Chang, do you already have an idea?"
Zhou Jimin smiled and looked at the two brothers who were thoughtful, and asked softly.
"Dad, is there a rot problem inside Tesco supermarket?"
"Why do you think of this? What's the basis for it?"
Zhou Jimin did not respond directly to the two brothers' conjectures immediately, but continued to ask questions.
The family has already entered the supermarket, and their goal is very clear, which is the seafood sales area.
After arriving at this area, Zhou Bingxu and the others observed it carefully.
However, after watching for a while, Zhou Qingyue and the others left.
Because it’s really boring. What’s interesting about watching people buying seafood?
On the contrary, the two brothers Zhou Bingxu watched it with gusto, as if they liked watching others buy seafood.
In a short period of time, a large amount of seafood was sold, and many consumers particularly like to eat these seafood.
Even though Tesco supermarket itself focuses on high-quality and low-priced products, the price and freshness of these seafood are still very attractive.
Therefore, from this point of view, the corruption problem within Tesco Supermarket itself becomes somewhat obvious.
The two brothers Zhou Bingxu have the seafood sales data of every Tesco supermarket store in Bald Eagle, and they have it in different time periods such as daily, weekly and monthly.
From this data, we can monitor the real-time sales data of Tesco Supermarket.
"Dad, aren't the sales data of Tesco supermarkets entered into the computer in real time? Why is this happening?"
Zhou Bingchang, who was puzzled, raised his own doubts.
Regarding the corruption problem, Tesco Supermarket's strong system has largely prevented this situation from happening.
But, it still appears now.
"Then what do you think the reason is?" Zhou Jimin asked funnyly.
"Son, you are now business operators. Finding problems is a very good advantage. You have initially developed management skills, but this is just the beginning..."
"After discovering a problem, you must also find the cause of the problem, and then start from the cause, consider the overall situation, and come up with a solution after comprehensive consideration. This is a qualified management..."
Management?
Zhou Bingxu immediately realized something was wrong. They were the bosses. When did they become the management?
Zhou Qingyue and the others, who had returned from shopping in other snack areas, also came over. They happened to hear Zhou Bingxu’s question and heard their father say:
"Yes, you are the boss now, but you are also the management."
"You still want to bypass the management and become the boss directly, right?"
All the children nodded. What they envied and admired most about their father was that it was so easy to be the boss.
When Zhou Jimin heard this, he immediately laughed.
These children really only see the surface. When will they grow up?
He didn't say let the children experience how he spends his day. After all, he can flip through the briefings faster than they imagined.
Maybe the little ones, Xiaoyi and the others can barely do it, but children like Zhou Bingxu and the others are somewhat behind.
After briefly talking to the children about the differences between management and leadership status, as well as some things that need to be done, the two brothers Zhou Bingxu immediately lowered their heads in shame.
The management is responsible for more specific and detailed management work, while the leader is responsible for the general direction and strategic positioning of the enterprise.
In more popular terms, it is the difference between a general and a commander-in-chief.
With the current knowledge and abilities of Zhou Bingxu and the two surrounding brothers, it is already very good to be a general who can win battles, let alone want to be a commander-in-chief.
Despite this, coming to the Tesco supermarket in New York today was an eye-opener for them.
"Dad, it's obviously something that happened here in New York. Why can you immediately tell through the data that it's an internal corruption problem?"
On the way back, Zhou Bingchang raised his question.
"That's a good question, so you must have thought about it, right? What's your answer?"
When it comes to educating children, Zhou Jimin does not directly tell them what they should do or what they should not do, but guides them to think in a step-by-step manner.
Even if they really try their best, they still can't think of a solution, then after Zhou Jimin gives the answer, he will not make the decision for them, but let them make the decision themselves.
Compared to the little ones, Zhou Jimin paid more attention and encouragement to Zhou Qingyue and the others.
